Most Realistic Campaign Gameplay...

[Faridus]

Ave Patricians and Plebeians,

which of the many mods have you tried and found to be the most realistic in campaign mode? i mean, cost of units/buildings, income, military...etc.

i have tried RTR 6.0, PE (for a few turns), DMC 5.3 and a few turn with Darth Mod. so far i think i prefer DMC.

for battles, both DMC and Darth play well in my opinion.

so far my biggest disappointment is with diplomacy!!! i don't think it has grabbed much attention. for instance, a faction that is clearly losing region after region does not accept a ceasefire even when I offered them money!!!

Good day,

XGM is a good mod. its realistic and fun. Also, there is a diplomacy feature included that overrides the dumb AI not accepting the ceasefires, etc. that would actually be beneficial to them.

I've also heard Europa Barborem, and Roma Surrectum are good

[Ephialtes The Dog]

RS is pretty realistic.

[Kratos]

RTR is propably the most realistic mod around, but I didn't like it much myself.

I don't like Europa Barbarorum that much. Its TOO realistic to be fun -_-

For my money EB is the most realistic.

My opinion:

SPQR has the most realistic battles and gameplay, as well as a crazily fun and challenging campaign with many epic (7000-15000 men) battles

EB and RTR have the most realistic skins, factions, buildings and starting positions.

So for me, SPQR wins hands down.

Agree 100%, LT1956 has made SPQR into the greatest gameplay mod for RTW, I love the skins and balancing. Great work.

Rise of Persia's fun, especcialy killing with the spartans.

Ave Honorable Patricians and Plebeians,

thank you for your feedback. i'll definitely try SPQR, RS and XGM (to honor the valorous greeks).

good day,

EB is very realistic. 4 seasons with a good amount of weather movement modifiers. Morale penalties/bonus' depending on weather and how long a siege lasts. Slow paced, and a bit laggy (well for me anyway), its very resource intensive.

RS is also great in my opinion. Fun, still quite fast paced, huge battles.

RTR and EB are my favours but I think EB is 'more' realistic than RTR

[Dr. Croccer]

EB, without doubt. Pretty much every faction has some sort of reform and those guys spended years of research to achieve this awesome mod. It's a little too realistic however, and I prefer mods like TE or RTR. RS is nice but the rebels aren't challenging, just massively overpowered. Pretty much every city has a fullstack army of elite troops which makes it almost impossible to defeat them if you're already fighting a war.

I generally use Roma Surrectum, mostly so I can play as the Bosporans, because you have so much freedom of action with them
